do you think will loved hannibal? when do you think he started and what signs do you see of it?

This is difficult to answer because I think everybody has their own definition of love. In my case, I find relationship escalators a flawed concept and I don’t think romantic love is cut above the rest. To me love is love and I don’t think sex is necessary in romantic love either. So keeping in mind all of this, I don’t think I can give a satisfactory (to you) answer to this. Do I believe he loves Hannibal? Yes. I believe Will loves Hannibal by my standards. Fundamentally, Hannibal is the most intimate person to Will in his life. And this is someone he can’t get out of his head.

I mean, Will would cry in grief if Hannibal ever died. That’s insane. Who would cry over Hannibal? He would. I think this is because he has compassion for Hannibal. Compassion is love. “When”? I like to think he started to like him in season 2b. Those therapy sessions were a double edged sword. He looked into the darkness and understood what he saw. This is why I like Will; normal people would have high tailed out of there but Will is angry, reckless, and bold, so he goes hunting instead.
